How the Essex Child and Family Wellbeing Service can help you
Visit the service's website here.
They bring all the different support agencies together to offer a range of services to meet you and your child’s needs, all in one place.
They’re somewhere your child can make friends and learn as they play. You can get professional advice on health and family matters, learn about training and job opportunities or just socialise with other people.
Children’s centres are developed in line with the needs of the local community so no one children’s centre is the same. However, they provide the following types of service:
- child and family health services, ranging from health visitors to breastfeeding support
- most centres offer high quality childcare and early learning - those that don’t can help advise on local childcare options
- advice on parenting, local childcare options and access to specialist services for families like speech therapy, healthy eating advice or help with managing money
- help for you to find work or training opportunities, using links to local Jobcentre Plus offices and training providers
